Dyh Yn

I know im pry bugging everybody but what is the difference between the dyh and yn.Personality wise,Trainable,Aggressiveness,talking ability,etc.Just curious

[T.W.]

I have a YNA, I can't speak for the DYH's, although I'm sure they are similar. Elvis is very protective of his castle, quite like a firing breathing dragon!!!!LOL If I take him off of his cage and into another room, I can handle him, but in his room, on his cage, no way!! We have to be very careful around him, he has no problem taking swipes at us, and he will draw blood!!! However, we also got him when he was 15 years old, and he was treated unkind in his past, but in general, Amazons can be aggressive and cranky!! I would never think of letting him on my shoulder, or that close to my face or neck, in general. But as with all creatures, they are all individual, and someone may have one that is a total cuddle bug. We just love him as he is. He says some words, mostly Hello, he uses that word for many different things, by saying it in different ways, but we have learned what he means. I know he can say his name, but he only says it every blue moon, and he says it with disdain. I have heard him say whole sentences in the shower, that is where he talks the most, otherwise, he is actually a very quiet bird. But again, how they are raised affects there whole life, his past was abusive, so he doesn't much like people, but he loves all our other animals, he is fine with any bird smaller than him, he never shows aggression with other birds or pets, he doesn't love our african grey, but if they happen to invade each others cages, they do not fight, they sit on opposite sides of the cage. From the DYH's that I have met, to me they seem to talk more than the YNA's, but I was told my senegal would not be a talker, and you can't shut him up, he'll learn any new word we want him to, so there are no guarantees that any particular bird will talk, even if it is capable.

yellow naped and double yellow headed vary, any birds personality varies,
however in my oppinion the double yellow headed amazons are a lot better talkers,

however if you are thinking of getting one of these birds you should be prepared to pay a very high price and be on a long waiting list .. these birds are also cities registered appendix 1 which means you have to have papers with them, if the breeder, owner etc does not offer you papers then it is illegal to have the bird, however if the breeder/owner is giving the bird away free of charge you dont need the papers you just need a letter from him guaranteeing the bird is legal, he bred it or the person he brought it off and contact details, you can get iinto serious trouble if you cant prove where you had it from ,

yellow naped are slightly different in size but not much and seem to have a meaner more temprementle streak in them in comparison to other amazons,
they are both great characters and love cuddles but be careful of ears with the yellow naped :o ..

dyh's are better talkers , easier to learn to talk, say more things and are more clearer to understand,
